Thread: Pirate epitath ideas?

Tweet

Just got a free piece of the blue foam board and I think I will make a pirate cementary.

Anyone have ideas on some funny epitaths I could use that would be pirate related?

I was thinking of using famous pirate names, (long john silver, blackbeard etc...) as well as witty phrases dealing with pirates.

Part of my story line is I'm going to be looking for Capt. Jack Sparrow, so I will have an empty grave site with his name on the tombstone, just for future use if nessacary

Any help would be appreciated.

Here lies the body
of one-eyed Will
If he'd seen the cutlass
he'd be here still.

He challenged me for my
pieces of eight.
Now he lies
in eight pieces.

Those are great Chris!!! I think I will use them.

Anyone else have any ideas?

"Here lies Jack Rackham
Too bad we had to whack 'Im"

Here lies Edward Low
Buried now
Six feet below

Thomas Tew,
Too bad we had
to keel-haul you.

The preceeding were all actual pirate names...


DB

Here a smuggler
Lies below
Didn't account for
The Undertow

Here ol' Blackbeard
Awaits his reward
For a life of villainy
Death overboard


Buccaneers and scallywags
Trade the sword for burial rags!


I've used those over the years.
By the way, just because it's kinda important for us haunters, the word is 'epitaph', not epitath. A minor point but worthy of a haunter's care. If WE don't spell it right, who else can be counted on to do so? :-)

Good luck me matey!
